Wonderful location away from the big resorts and tourist areas. Very quiet and peaceful with lovely beaches. It was nice for exploring the reef on foot at low tide. Stephanie and Gyan were very helpful and friendly. Thank you for a relaxing stay.

We think Villa Philibert is an awesome place! The description given on Airbnb perfectly matches with the true experience! The villa is situated on a giant plot away from the main road. The huge garden has coconut palms all over and at the end of the garden your beach begins! The living is connected to the big outside terrace with pool. We were out most of the time, but used it a couple of times and it's just perfect! The owner provides for a housekeeping service; Stephanie and Gyan are there on a daily basis to provide with breakfast etc should you need it. Stephanie also cleans daily and can cook you local dishes if you like. We asked her to do this a couple of times and we would definitely recommend it! The quality is great and they are both very friendly and helpful people. We went mainly for kitesurfing and diving, Bel Ombre beach is a 15 minutes drive away, offering a kiteschool and various resorts with dive centers. You would definitely need a car or regularly make use of taxis to get around the island. We rented a car for the week and that I would recommend to anyone coming here. It's easy and convenient. All in all we would recommend Villa Philibert for sure for anyone looking for a true tropical break away on the beautiful island of Mauritius.

Fantastic stay at Villa Philibert, its the most amazing place with 3 lovely bedrooms, a large kitchen, comfortable living room and a great poolside seating and dining area. The swimming pool is clean and spacious and the gardens beautifully kept. The location on the less developed south coast is great, with a number of good local restaurants nearby plus easy access to smaller shops for everything you need. The best thing about our stay was the wonderful welcome and ongoing care of housekeeper Gyan and housemaid Stephanie. They really made us feel at home and looked after us very well. I fully recommend Stephanie's cooking, its wonderful and very good value! We also made use of the babysitting service on a couple of days, meaning that we could spend some time exploring while our children enjoyed the pool. All in all a perfect stay at a perfect villa. Recommended and especially good for families. We hope to go back soon! Jim, Natalie and family

You are no ordinary holiday seeker! You travel to chosen destinations in order to relax and step out of your highly intensive and demanding everyday life. You seek total privacy, utter relaxation, beautiful surroundings and the comforts of a home away from home. Luxury for you is quiet and serene island hospitality in a private environment with a staff that goes out of their way to care for you and your loved ones. You are one of those who aim for an intense and out of this world tropical island experience.
I am Villa Riambelle, an elegantly built and lavishly furnished tropical beauty made of local stone and timber and set into a paradisiacal garden, adorned by a swimming pool, right by the beach of Riambel, a small community in the extreme South of Mauritius. I perfectly fit into this mythical place where sugar cane boats once came into small harbors, famous poets dwelled close by and where people from all over the world come to experience oneness with the Universe in a nearby sanctuary.
My owner loves and adores me; he jealously guards my pristine environment, and me, keeping me in top shape at any time. Indeed, I am a lucky one and so are those who come to spend a marvelous tropical holiday within my walls.
Warning: My perfect island style and rare beauty will entice you so thoroughly and deeply, that you will never want to leave!

Villa Riambelle is located in Riambel, Mauritius
The road from the airport leads through a landscape of intense beauty with crisscrossing streams and rivers as well as small villages, surrounded by green fields. During harvest time, visitors might encounter hugely laden sugar cane trucks headed for Savannah, one of the rare sugar mills in Mauritius that are still in use today. There, the road winds some ways inland, before meeting the rugged coastline again, close by the cliffs of Gris-Gris and passing through historic Souillac with its ancient church, cemetery and boat harbor.
Past the bridge and the mound of the Savanne River, the coastline once again is dominated by a coral reef and gives way to a sparkling turquoise lagoon, where a few privileged homes lie nestled in tropical greenery; caressed by the restless trade winds at a small village called Riambel. Right at this village’s boarder, and by the carved stone bearing its name, a driveway leads to a double gate and onto the premises of Villa Riambelle.
Nearby tourist attractions such as Edward Hart Museum “La Nef”, Telfair Gardens, Rochester Falls as well as La Vanille Crocodile Park and Nature Reserve, can be reached in just a few minutes.
A host of small but very fine restaurants; one even rumored to offer the best Indian cuisine of Mauritius, are within walking distance or can be reached by car in a short drive. Historic landmarks in the vicinity enclose Domaine Le Saint Aubin, where once a legendary dynasty lived in splendor and today traditional rum and great island hospitality meet and greet the enchanted visitor.
Water activities such as swimming, snorkeling and fishing are plenty and dive-enthusiasts can enjoy their favorite sport at the dive centers of the neighboring hotels.

We enjoyed our stay very much! Manessa and her father were very welcoming and friendly. The apartment is beautiful, luxurious and well equipped and the beach is only a few meters away. We can recommand it absolutely

Enjoy life at leisure in a traditional beach house villa in the most scenic unspoilt south of Mauritius. Ideal safe location with concierge service, local markets, easy access to bustling local towns and typical restaurants. Ideal for a romantic getaway, family holiday or special occasion. Great location and peaceful atmosphere.

Traditional volcanic stone built "foot in the water" beach house, or campement offering a unique opportunity to enjoy beach life in a peaceful multicultural island. There is nothing south of Riambel beach till you reach the Antarctic! Large level garden, deserted beach, lagoon and reef provide ever changing vistas and a relaxing soundscape.
The property consists of whole ground floor and has recently been upgraded with large modern kitchen, ensuite facilities and spacious living areas.
Ceiling fans and freestanding fans available in all rooms and all windows are screened.
Mauritius is a year round destination with temperatures 20-30 degrees plus. Cooling breeze allows outdoor living on a large sheltered verandah during the day and under starlight southern skies.
Local family provides cleaning service, tasty cooking at small extra cost. Safe authentic part of Mauritius with laid back atmosphere where the locals are friendly and helpful.
Enjoy snorkelling, riding on the beach at sunset, fishing and kite surfing or golf or just relax and read a book.
Cheap delicious meals reflecting three great world cooking traditions are a short walk or drive away as well as established resort facilities , beach club activities and fine dining at Bel Ombre.

The south of Mauritius is the most unspoilt authentic part of the island. Away from the frenetic population centres life has a slower rythm. I have often been given free fish by local fishermen or caught my own with their help and advice!
There is a Sunday market offering fresh local produce and home made street food stalls are not to be missed in Mauritius. All the local restaurants are worth a visit or ask Corinne the concierge to cook a meal for you.
The Coastal drive from the beach house to Le Morne (a World Heritage site) is spectacular and I never tire of it. At Gris Gris where there is no reef, the sea crashes in dramatically onto the cliffs. Great area for a walk or longer hike.
Riambel beach at the end of the garden is often completely deserted and local professional stables offer rides at sunset for all levels of ability.
Swimming in Rochester Falls is refreshing on a hot day.
There are several local visits that all ages can enjoy including the St Aubin Estate and rum distillery, the visual illusions at Curious Corner of Chamarel and the giant tortoises and more at the Vanilla Park Reserve.
Hiking in Black River Gorges National Park is easy to organise.
Golf and tennis available at hotel resort complex at Bel Ombre ten minutes away by car. Beach C Club offers water sports and use of hotel facilities, pool etc on daily access basis. Check on line for web site and discuss events.
